Ok, you know when The Bachelor puts a rose in your hand, you’ve arrived! Season 16′s Bachelor is Ben Flajnik who was previously jilted by Ashley Hebert on her season of The Bachelorette.

The California-born winemaker looks very relaxed and ready for love, but on the HOT meter, I’m a little skeptical. What do you think, is he hot or not? Sound off your comments below.

BEN’S GIRLS – Eleven of them at least and one in particular I am sure will be his favourite, if you Google her name Blakeley Shea, you’ll know what I mean. (something tells me that she’s looking to further her career) Check out her photo below.
